The system configuration is IIcx, 6.0.4 with Word 4.00A. He would like to change these special characters whilst using something like Change (under the Utilities menu), but when he copies in from the Clipboard the character alpha it appears as the letter "a". So he can't do the change. Can anyone help? Nick- The reason that the alpha shows up as the letter a is that Word uses the Chicago font in the dialog boxes. It SHOULD still work the way he wants... But I wouldn't take it for granted... Try it out. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alan D.
